All statistics correct as of 18 July 2023.

The league was split into two regional groups, with the top three teams from each group participating in a six-team championship stage which was held in Tunisia. Al-Ahly Tripoli won the title after leading the championship after four rounds.[1] Ittihad refused to play the final match against Al-Ahly, causing runners-up Benghazi to fail to show to their final round match as well.[2]

Al-Ittihad were the defending champions, but finished last in the six-team championship round.

The first round of matches in the second half of the season featured several no-shows, causing several points deductions and a voided match.[3]
